PARKING RESTRICTIONS (Continued) Mayor Griset stated that although he would like to see the curbside parking remain, he felt that with the removal of the parking, traffic would move much faster and that we need to relieve the congestion. Mr. Bucker asked Council to consider granting the parking on a temporary basis until after the widening is completed. The City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution prohibiting parking on both sides of 17th Street between Main and Spurgeon between the hours of 7:00 to 9:00 A.M. and 3:00 to 7:00 P.M., excepting on Sundays and Holidays, on the unanimously carried motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Patterson. RECESS 9:15 P.M., with all Councilmen present. At 9:05 P.M., a five minute recess was declared. Council reconvened at SANTA ANA POLICE OFFICERS On motion of Councilman Herrin, and BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION seconded by Councilman Villa, and unanimously carried, Council referred to staff the request of the Police Benevolent Association to consider an incentive rotation plan and conversion to a four day work week (10 hours per day), and set the matter for public hearing at 7:30 P.M., or as soon thereafter as possible, on August 21, 1972. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Anthony LaCava, 14792 Carfax Drive, Tustin, stated that he is the owner of the rental units at 2501-2505 South Baker Street; that he objects to installing a commercial trash bin because it is dangerous and cannot be legally located on his property; that he is being charged for trash pick-up but is not being serviced, and that it is the City's obligation to provide that service. He requested that he be given a waiver from the Code requirement, and filed with the Clerk and each Councilman a letter dated August 7, 1972, setting forth his position in this matter. The Mayor referred Mr. LaCava to the Director of Public Works and the City Attorney for resolution of his problem. Councilman Patterson requested that his vote be recorded as opposed to holding a public hearing to consider the request of the Santa Ana Police Officers Benevolent Association for an incentive rotation plan and a four-day, 10-hour work week because it is a "meet and confer item". Mrs. Janice Boer, 912 N. Lowell, referred to Resolution 72-8l in which Council had appointed certain members to write arguments for and against Bond Proposi- tions and requested reconsideration of the matter. She further stated that the Clerk is supposed to advertise for those who would like to write the arguments and that by the Council writing con arguments themselves they are depriving citizens of their right to redress for grievances.
